Once a month you embark on a 10 hour drive to spend a weekend skiing/boating and then returning with another 10 hour drive? So for 2 days of doing such activity you'll spent 20 hou…

It also just doesn't make sense. Like, we train a human and that takes 20 years of food. To train an LLM it needed a collection of 800TiB of data (The Pile). To generate that pile,…

In Europe heat-pump-dryers are the normal way dryers work and the clothes coming out of them are also crisp and dry. Are you sure there is nothing defective with your dryer?

Yes, this is called Small Beer or Table Beer in Belgium. It goes as low as 1% and was very normal in schools and at homes before clean water was a common thing. It still is a very …

This isn't a tiny change, if GCloud says "we quit in a year". That is a huge change. Applications using GCloud SDK for services suddenly need to be reworked and redrawn. That alone…

12 months notice is too short for big non-tech enterprises. They plan their infrastructure needs in 5-year terms. Changing to a new environment takes re-educating a lot of people, …
